Actually, I thought they made a rather good point. I don't think it had anything to do with Dubya. I think it had everything to do with the simple fact that not everyone shares the same PoV. And IMHO that was even made pretty clear. When the mods are so chummy chummy that they eject mods...

No, I've firmly indicated who's side I've taken based on what I've seen. And you meanwhile continue to offer nothing new that changes anything. There's a difference between complaining about something, and doing something. Perhaps you've not been aware of the gigantic gaps in between my posts...

Which is exactly why I offer the opportunity to illuminate the situation into a different light. No, what's sad is that you judge without asking. I at least asked. I leave room for new facts to be submitted. I consider no matter ever fully closed. One can only judge by what one has seen...

If it's generated at the server level then maybe someone should change the server code, if so many people use these banners. :| I don't know. All I know is that I certainly wouldn't appreciate a 600 pixel wide sig image. :lol:

Just so that I can make sure that I understand this whole DH-being-demodded thing, can someone please verify that I haven't missed some key fact that somehow puts this into a better light? What I understand is: SOD disagreed with a mod. DH refrained from taking action against SOD becuase he...

If not, then why do you (and every other mod for that matter) keep turning my issue into something that I have repeatedly made clear I do not want it to be about? This is a far cry from public opinion is not allowed.That's highly debatable. How can someone be 'allowed' to do something for...

No offense, but that's way too big IMHO. I actually like the standard as it is. Maybe you should just resize your image? :tongue:

Now, I've been intentionally not bringing up my personal opinions on just this matter because I did not desire my issue to be clouded by this particular case. However, since it now has been, and since I do have an opinion, I might as well give it. Here are my concerns in order from least to...

1) It's still a grevious abuse of power IMHO. 2) Did you discuss the prospect of locking it with me or any other of the general populace first? No. So you made the decision to lock it in secret. Just because you gave your reasoning post-decision doesn't make that decision itself held in any...

I wouldn't go that far. More like not many people feel like bothering to take the time to complain. I mean, dude, seriously, is it really so hard to type a little better than that?

I have to call a flag on the game patches. First off, having bugs that can never be fixes is not exactly an improvement IMHO. But second, some console games are already starting to depend on hard drives and internet connections so that they can be patches. :O Not good. Not good at all...

I had been trying to keep this about theoretical potential and assuring that potential does not become a reality. I had been trying to keep this about the issue of governance in general, not about particular issues. Just because your chummy-chummy clique of moderators happen to have hot topics...

And then you locked it before I even had a chance to respond. Not to mention preventing anyone else from commenting later as well. As if no one else could possibly have an opinion. How is blocking people from discussing something considered to be discussing the issue to you? I mean, I just...

This is a load of bull! Thank you ever so much for not discussing the issue, and then locking the thread. I clearly see now just how fair the system is. You couldn't have expressed this better if you'd tried. And I suppose you'll lock this thread too. Or maybe just edit it, or delete it...

I love gaming on consoles, but never for serious gaming. Consoles are like gokarts. They're fun. They're tons of fun. But people drive real cars for a reason. It's not just that PCs can have better graphics and better sound. It's also about the control. You pick up a console's controller...
